Chapter 625 - 156: Spoils of War: Corporate Assets
"You have no choice, no choice, no choice, no choice."
In reality, Gao Gong walked lazily down the street, followed by several people who had just been awakened from virtual space: Black Python, Scorpion, Single God supported by Black Python, and the Host Brain who joined them.
Looking at this lazy person in front of them, Black Python scratched his head, puzzled, and asked, "Wife, why does this person have no strong demeanor at all?"
Is this person really as powerful as the wife said?
"What do you think a strong demeanor is, not eating, drinking, defecating, urinating? Or pretending to be dead and gloomy for no reason?" Scorpion rolled his eyes widely.
Especially hearing Gao Gong humming the tune ’No Choice’, he felt even more depressed inside.
Yeah, what choice does a hacker have?
Choose brainstorming or choose brain bursting?
In the past, hackers liked to leave a backdoor software in people’s minds to prepare for the next ’consciousness invasion.’
Now, it’s not necessary, because there’s actually such a ’backdoor’ on a physical level.
Among all the ’Electronic Brain solutions,’ only Du Gao Technology’s ’Virtual Helmet’ is the one without holes in the head, allowing free online and offline access.
Therefore, when Gao called out, all the lawbreakers followed suit, for this reason.
If Du Gao Technology wins, everyone can still play freely.
If it loses, everyone is in trouble.
That’s why even the few old guys from Electronic Ascension would ’come down’ to help him.
They are the ancestors of the cyber hackers, although they have transcended, they don’t want this profession to completely disappear.
In fact, in the previous timeline without Du Gao Technology,
once the corporate war ended, hackers faced disaster, with more than half of the top 100 being caught, and the rest either died or fled, the scene was extremely tragic.
And the ones who took action were the super corporations that viewed hackers as a thorn in their side.
When entering the Beehive again, seeing at the bottom, that ’Sawtooth’ with a huge mechanical shell exposed, and the flattened huge drill, several people inhaled sharply again.
Their eyes turned even more complex as they looked at him.
Has this guy become this strong?
"Unlock the password, unlock all mechanical brain devices, and unify the ’Electronic Brain’ with my family’s scheme."
Gao Gong looked at the Host Brain, and the Host Brain nodded without hesitation.
The ship of Neuro Editing Group is sinking, and jumping ship early is the right thing to do.
Soon, a very special voice sounded in Gao Gong’s mind, an electronic voice that lacked any emotion but was lofty.
’Du Gao Technology defeats Neuro Editing Group, Neuro Editing Group enterprise qualification canceled.’
’Virtual Helmet plan replaces Mechanical Brain Transformation scheme.’
’Corporate Will forcibly merged.’
’Du Gao Technology, regional ranking, ninth place.’
Gao Gong glanced at the list and found that among the top nine, six opponents were military contractors.
These bug exploit experts probably gave up their spots in the first stage.
Only three genuinely defeated their rival companies.
Holy Brain Group
Eternal Life Technology
And, Du Gao Technology.
There’s no need to mention Holy Brain Group; Ms. Ye, also known as the Dark Girl’s SS-level superpower, greatly contributed to this war.
People are the Version’s Son, she is the Version’s Father.
In Gao Gong’s impression, in this war, Holy Brain Group never dropped out of the top three, even without Du Gao Technology’s military assistance.
As for Eternal Life Technology, such an arrogant name obviously implies a monopoly-level giant.
How powerful is this company? The two divine artifacts essential for escaping by all corporations’ executives, consciousness upload and sub-body splitting, were developed by them.
Later, a minor shareholder from their company went out and started his own business, founding Johnson Group, one of the four biological giants, named Merkel, the four-hundred-year-old Merkel.
Fortunately, they are all in the Northern Hemisphere, Gao Gong thought with ease.
At this moment, the Host Brain ran over, flattering:
"Great Mr. G, all ’artificial data’ management permissions have been handed over to your enterprise’s Electronic Network Department."
"Has the Mechanical Brain Transformation stopped?"
"Of course, it’s all stopped, ready to connect with ’Virtual Helmet’ plan at any time."
Gao Gong glanced at the data and found that in Hive City, mechanical brain transformation had reached 40%, meaning nearly half of the little brains had been opened.
This efficiency is not low.
After all, head transformation needs to ensure a success rate.
It’s not as simple as wearing a helmet.
By the way, in the previous life, as a virtual tycoon, Gao Gong knew of thousands, if not hundreds of brain-machine transformation schemes.
Why choose the transformation with the lowest degree, ’Virtual Helmet’?
The reason is simple: choosing this plan can secure numerous hidden companions, such as cyber hackers, some super AI, and even some super strong from Mother City.
The stronger the individual, the more resistant they are to ’collective transformation.’
This is basic knowledge.
And during civilization ascension, this becomes particularly troublesome.
"Also, here is our enterprise’s data password and personnel list; a total of 1324 neural editors are ready for your company’s reception at any time."
All ’programmers’ in the company.
What to say? It quite matches Gao Gong’s impression of this company.
Gao Gong used the password to open the core database of Neuro Editing Group.
The holographic screen flashed, and a large number of technical plans were refreshed instantly.
[You acquired Level 30 Mechanical Species, [Brain King Bee] transformation blueprint]
[You acquired faction-exclusive building: Mechanical Brain Data Transmission Center]
[You acquired Level 2 Civilization Super Technology, [Consciousness Package Technology]]
Super technology is somewhat like civilization architecture, referring to technology that exceeds the level of the civilization, that is beyond Level 10 blueprint’s limit but doesn’t reach the next level civilization technology tier.
In short, Black Technology.
Weapons and equipment created using ’Black Technology’ can reach the last two levels of the six equipment tiers: Epic (Black Technology), Era-defining (Cross-civilization).
Especially era-defining equipment, which must be crafted with ’Black Technology.’
The era-defining equipment on Gao Gong, uh, sorry, is 0 pieces.
What’s left are more than a hundred, almost two hundred ’ordinary blueprints.’
[You acquired Level 5 Technology Blueprint [Brain Plugin No. 8] (Incomplete)]
[You acquired Level 6 Technology Blueprint [Brain Plugin No. 11] (Incomplete)]
[You acquired Level 6 Technology Blueprint [Cerebellum Plugin No. 21]]
...
A large portion of the blueprints are labeled ’Incomplete.’
This is a normal occurrence for any tech company; without a system, they can only explore in the fog of technology, with winners being few and losers many.
[You acquired enterprise assets: 120 million Mechanical Coins]
[You acquired enterprise assets: 12,000 Mother City Trading Points]
Huh?
Trading Points?
Gao Gong’s eyes narrowed; this is a treasure.
It’s a super currency that can trade directly with the Planet Host, exchangeable for resources and technology absent even on this planet.
But, where did this thing come from?
Gao Gong looked at the Host Brain.
The Host Brain explained:
"This was obtained from Dou selling ’Conscious Brain Technology’ to the Deep Net."
So that’s how it is.
Gao Gong realized.
As the Planet Governor of a more advanced civilization, Mother City also collects some very creative ’low-level civilization technology’ to upload to headquarters.
If Gao Gong sells his own ’Mecha Technology’ or ’Biological Chip Technology’ to Mother City, he can acquire such trading points.
Of course, he wouldn’t sell them.
Gao Gong then switched to ’Professional Knowledge’, according to the enterprise, it is basic research data.
For a newly-formed enterprise like this, Gao Gong didn’t have high expectations.
As expected, four to five types of professional knowledge for ’Neuro Editing Technology’, five to six for ’Mechanical Brain Technology’, that’s all.
The most annoying thing is that he already has all this professional knowledge.
For the ’Neuro Editing Technology’ knowledge chain, all nine professions are at full level.
He looked at the Host Brain, smiling faintly.
"Is that everything?"
The Host Brain immediately patted his chest to assure:
"That’s all the enterprise assets, not a single slice of embezzlement."
Single God saw this and suddenly said:
"What about the secret on Dou’s body that you told me about before, why didn’t you mention that?"
The Host Brain’s vision went black; you, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, are even more contemptible than I, after being beaten, you became completely loyal?
"You said before, finding that secret will lead to the source of Dou’s abnormal talent."
